Here’s a complete care guide for Dendrobium (ds-058) 🌸 — a hybrid Dendrobium known for its compact growth, thick canes, and vibrant, long-lasting blooms.

Here’s a complete care guide for Dendrobium (ds-058):

🌤️ Light

Requires bright, filtered sunlight for healthy growth and flowering.

Ideal exposure: 4–6 hours of indirect light daily.

Place near an east- or south-facing window with a sheer curtain if indoors.

Pale green leaves indicate perfect light; dark green = too little light.

🌡️ Temperature

Prefers a warm to intermediate climate.

Day: 25–32°C

Night: 16–20°C

Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C.

💧 Watering

Keep the potting mix slightly moist during the growing season (spring–summer).

Allow the top layer to dry a bit between waterings.

During the rest period (winter), reduce watering — just enough to prevent the canes from shriveling.

Use rainwater or filtered water if possible, and ensure excellent drainage.

💨 Humidity

Maintain 50–70% humidity for lush growth.

Increase humidity with a pebble tray or humidifier if the air is dry.

Good air circulation is important to prevent fungal issues.

🌱 Fertilizer

Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) every 2 weeks during active growth.

Before blooming, switch to a high-phosphorus formula (10-30-20) to encourage flower spikes.

Reduce or stop fertilizing during winter dormancy.

🪴 Potting & Medium

Use a well-draining orchid medium: mix of bark, charcoal, and perlite.

Repot every 2–3 years, or when the potting mix starts breaking down.

Best time to repot: after flowering when new roots begin to appear.

🌼 Flowering

Dendrobium DS-058 blooms once or twice yearly, depending on light and feeding.

Blooms last 2–4 weeks on each spike.

Flowers often appear on the upper nodes of mature canes.

Do not cut green canes after flowering — they help support new shoots.
